Clever Odds

odds bet

The casinos are always looking for ways to speed up the game. Some casinos have incorporated a clever way to do this by varying the amount of odds a player can take. A player is allowed to take three, four or five times odds, depending on the point number.

If the point is 4 or 10 you can take 3 times odds
If the point is 5 or 9 you can take 4 times odds.
If the point is 6 or 8 you can take 5 times odds. I call this Clever Odds. Based on a $5 pass line bet with the three, four and five times odds you will be paid $30 for your odds bet. You can read more about it.
